Time range options for Activeboards and Widgets
There are three different options available when you set a time range for an Activeboard or widget using the interface:
Absolute date | You may want to see data from a specific time period. To do this, click on the time range indicator and select the start and end date using the calendar, then click Apply. The Activeboard or widget will be updated to display data from that period of time, and the specified range will be shown in the time range indicator. |
---|---|
Relative date | You may want to see data from periods of time relative to the current date (last 5 minutes, last day, etc.). To do this, click the time range indicator and select one of the options from the Preset intervals on the right, then click Apply. The Activeboard or widget will be updated to display data from that period of time, and the interval selected will be shown in the time-range indicator. You will notice a green P icon, which indicates that a preset interval has been applied to the Activeboard or widget. Real-time: |
Snap to date | You may want to see data without unrepresentative data samples resulting from analyzing incomplete periods. With this option, you go back in time to the starting point of the selected time frame. For example, if it is 10:53:17 on a Tuesday:
Click on the time-range indicator and click on the Snap to tab. Choose one of the options from the Preset intervals on the right, then click Apply. The interval selected will be shown in the time-range indicator. You will see a green P icon, which indicates that a preset interval has been applied to the Activeboard or widget. The Snap to option is represented by the @ symbol. Real-time: |
